Definitions
- the present invention relates to a driver station for a vehicle, such as a tractor or other agricultural or industrial vehicle.
- the driver station is of the type comprising a floor and sides and a console and seat for the driver mounted on the floor (see i.e. US-A-4023851).
- the term "console” is used for convenience to denote the assemblage of controls used by the driver, including a steering wheel, levers and/or pedals and an instrument panel.
- a driver station as defined above represents the basic structure used in a wide range of vehicles, although this basic structure may be supplemented to a greater or lesser extent by various other features.
- a driver station may range from a simple open station through a station with a roll-over protection frame to a station with at least a roof and ultimately an enclosed cab which can incorporate many of the refinements and comforts normally associated with private cars.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an improved driver station which in itself is a simple open station but which is capable of modular extension to various further levels of refinement.
- the invention will thus enable a manufacturer to reduce significantly his tooling and other manufacturing costs and the costs associated with inventory.
- the invention is characterised by two longitudinally spaced, transversely disposed, upstanding 'U' frames, with the floor supported on the base portions of the 'U' frames, and two side panels connecting the limbs of the 'U' frames on the two sides respectively.
- the floor preferably comprises a corrugated sheet metal panel combining rigidity with lightness, with the corrugations running longitudinally.
- This panel is preferably clad on the top side with a smooth skin, preferably of rubber.
- the side panels serve to stiffen the structure and, together with the upstanding limbs of the 'U' frames, they provide a certain basic degree of protection for the driver.
- they may form the mudguards for wheels flanking the driver station, e.g. the large rear wheels of a tractor.
- the side panels can have out-turned top flanges constituting the mudguards.
- the driver station according to the invention is adapted for use with a frame vehicle and the base portions of the 'U' frames are preferably mounted on two longitudinal main frame members of the vehicle by way of resilient mountings giving some isolation against vibration and shock.
- an active damping device may be coupled between the driver station and the vehicle frame.
- the two 'U' frames In order to combine strength with lightness it is preferred to make the two 'U' frames from metal tube, e.g. rectangular section tube.
- a roll-over protection frame may be built up on to the tops of the 'U' frames. This is preferably achieved by means of two further 'U' frames, one at each side, which have their limbs extending horizontally, namely a first limb connected to and spanning the tops of the two main 'U' frame limbs on the corresponding side, and a second limb spaced above the first and forming the top, horizontal side of the roll-over protection frame.
- the base portion of each further 'U' frame forms an upward prolongation of one of the main 'U' frame limbs on the corresponding side, preferably the rear main 'U' frame.
- the roll-over protection frame may be completed by various struts, specially transverse horizontal struts, e.g. at the front and/or rear ends of the upper, second limbs of the further 'U' frames, and/or at the tops of the rear limbs of the main 'U' frames (i.e. behind the driver's seat).
- Vertical struts may span the limbs of each further 'U' frame in prolongation of the front limbs of the main 'U' frames.
- the upper, second limbs of the further 'U' frames are preferably prolonged forwardly so as to carry right over the console.
- a roof may be fitted over the upper, second limbs of the further 'U' frames.
- the driver station can therefore be relatively light.
- the main 'U' frames connected by the floor and side panels form a structural cell of considerable rigidity and it is therefore possible to dispense with special supporting brackets; simple anti-vibration mountings of the type widely used in vehicles (an elastomeric body bonded between two metal parts) can be used. This combines cheapness with the benefit of a basic degree of isolation from shocks for the driver.
- a tractor is represented solely by two longitudinal frame members 1 formed of stout channel section girders and cranked out at the rear to provide a wide support base for the driver station.
- each frame member 1 Towards the rear, each frame member 1 has a hole 1a to accommodate the corresponding rear wheel axle.
- the driver station is formed structurally by a rear 'U' frame 2a, a front 'U' frame 2b, a floor 3 and side panels 4.
- the 'U' frames 2a and 2b are fabricated from rectangular section steel tube and each frame has a flat base portion 20 extending transversely across the width of the tractor so that the limbs 21 of the 'U' frames stand up at the sides of the tractor.
- Each base portion 20 is supported at each end on the corresponding longitudinal frame 1 by way of a resilient, anti-vibration mounting 22.
- the floor 3 is essentially flat but is formed of corrugated steel sheet with the corrugations running longitudinally, to provide adequate rigidity.
- the corrugated floor panel is covered with a smooth skin 5, preferably of rubber.
- the side panels 4 are likewise steel sheets which are preferably welded to the upright limbs 21 of the 'U' frames and may be stiffened by embossed ribs. Moreover, each side panel 4 is provided at the top with an out-turned flange 4b which forms a mudguard for the corresponding large rear wheel.
- the driver station of Figure 1 is open but already provides a fair degree of protection by virtue of the upright limbs 21 at the sides, interconnected by the panels 4.
- the station forms a very rigid cell because the 'U' frames 2a and 2b lying in transverse vertical planes are rigidly connected by the side panels 4 lying in longitudinal vertical planes and by the floor 3 lying in a horizontal plane.
- FIG. 2 shows exactly the same driver station supplemented by further parts to provide a complete roll-over protection frame 8 on which a simple roof 9 may be mounted.
- the roll-over protection frame 8 is formed primarily by two further 'U' shaped frames 8a, but lying on their sides so that the base portions 23 of these frames are vertical while first, lower limbs 24 and second, upper limbs 25 are horizontal.
- the lower horizontal limb 24 extends between the tops of the limbs 21 of the main 'U' frames on the corresponding side of the vehicle.
- the base portion 23 extends vertically in upward prolongation of the rear limb 21 of the main frame 2a.
- the upper horizontal limb 25 is longerthan the lower limb 24 and carries forward over the front limb 21 of the frame 2b and beyond, to the front of the floor 3.
- An upright strut 29 extends between the horizontal limbs 24 and 25 in prolongation of the front limb 21 of the frame 2b.
- the roof 9 is of sheet metal and sits on the rectangular frame formed by the upper horizontal limbs 25 and the front and rear struts 26 and 27 extending therebetween. All of the 'U' frames and the struts are welded together to provide a strong yet relatively light roll-over protection frame.
- the frames 8a and the struts 26 to 29 may be formed of tubular metal, preferably of rectangular section.
- the station of Figure 2 may be converted to a completely enclosed cab in the manner illustrated in Figure 3.
- the essential parts are an inner ceiling panel 10, a door 11, a windscreen 12, side windows 13 and a rear window 14.
- the rear window 14 may extend from ceiling to floor or only down as far as the transverse strut 28, with an obscure panel (e.g. sheet metal) from the strut 28 down to the floor.
- the side windows 13 fill in the 'U' frames 8a above the side panels 4.
- two standards 15 extend from the front corners of the floor 3 up to the front ends of the upper horizontal limbs 25 of the roll-overframes 8a. As illustrated, a full height door 11 may be hinged on the standard 15 on one side of the vehicle.
- the windscreen 12 may, as illustrated, be a floor to ceiling, wrap round windscreen. Equally it is obviously possible to glaze areas separately or employ obscure panels in lower parts.
